I'm pretty sure my 6th gen has hard lines from the clutch master cylinder, all the way to the slave cylinder... I think most other accords should be the same. Those lines would be pretty pointless.

There HAS to be at least a short flexible section to allow for the motion of the engine/tranny assembly. Here's the line for a '98, the rubber section is towards the top-left of the picture.

I would normally think so, but I've replaced that line before when my mastercylinder went out, and there wasn't any soft lines. Looking on my current Accord, it's solid from the slave all the way around the rear of the block. I didn't get a chance to look around the firewall near the master.

I know my 95 EX had that short soft line from the passenger side of the engine bay to the slave cylinder.

Not sure where you can get a SS version but people have removed the entire hard line for a SS one, mostly when doing auto-to-manual swaps. Seen it on Civics, Integras and a couple Accords. You can probably get some of the parts from AN Pluming.

Look towards the end of this thread in the Prelude forum and there's tons of pics & info about doing a full SS clutch line. I did mine and it worked you very well.

I found that same website and wanted one of those for my accord.
I ended up getting one from this site: http://www.tasauto.com for my 5th gen.
i actually noticed a significant difference in clutch engagement, I like it

Thanks that is what I was looking for and forgot the name

Just a thought if I get a line from the clutch m/c all the way to the slave cyl, how will that make my pedal feel mushey or no?

from what I've read and from it says in the thread Hawkze_2.3 posted, no, the clutch won't feel "mushy".
